Location: Upper Left USA | UPS tracking earlier says "out for delivery", yeah!
Get home, no box at the door or inside, no prob...
Eat dinner, clean up, sit with one ear trained for the signature sound of Brown...
Log in, pull up the tracking to see that it says "Delivered to Front Door"... quick check of the front doorway, garage, inside house.
Heart beat escalates as I think of the other three addresses in a four block radius that share my house number (pronounced pizz-poor-planning)...
Look over on the front patio to see a guitar sized box with a plastic bag over it (aka, Northwest Camoflage).
Take it in and open up an Adamas 12 string from Willa!
All better now... thank you Willa! |

Location: Sydney, Australia | My experience last year: Away from town for the day, won't get home until about 11:30pm. Text from wife "guitar has arrived" (Adamas 1680 from Al on the other side of the planet)
Wait anxiously for 12 hours, arrive home "Where is it?". "Where is what?" "My guitar". "Oh, I was only joking, I was going to send another message saying that, but I got tied up". "Don't tease 50 year olds" (starts searching house - guitar box can't be easy to hide. No luck)
Wife: "Stop that I've told you it's not here. Just have your dinner"
I give up and open the pantry to find a very large box with "Ovation" written on it. |

They've got my 1881 in transit. I'm hoping for a similar happy outcome. |

What's the prognosis, Doc? Watch everyone. We are about to see Woodrow's magic yet again. The rest of it's PRETTY. Tell 'em, Woody.

We all know the best repairs would come from Mother and what I'm attempting can still be reversed by them.
Basically I will use epoxy/wood dough to redo the rim. Locate and readhere any loose braces and then pray a lot...
If it sucks then I'll ship it Mother and ask for a Slothead Neck and AI Bridge since they'll end up ripping and retopping.
Watch the Ning folder for updates. |
